النازعات
Surah An-Nazi'at
وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا
By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly,
وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا
and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,
وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا
and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,
فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا
and those taking the lead vigorously,
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,1
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
followed by a second Blast.
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,
أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ
with their eyes downcast.
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
and at once they will be above ground.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself,
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Then Moses showed him the great sign,1
